My son and I made the most delicious cheesy crescent rolls tonight by using Immaculate Crescent Rolls, and placing cheese and minced garlic inside the triangles, and rolling them up! We then baked them in a 350 degrees oven for 12-14 minute and they came out warm and delicious!
Update on October 1st- There was one extra roll last night so I thought I would pack it for lunch today, but he ended up wanting it as a late night snack. We are going to make more tonight!

Review of New York Times article , "A.D.H.D. Seen in 11% of U.S. Children as Diagnoses Rise."
Through the years, in my teaching profession, I have seen the diagnoses of A.D.H.D. and A.D.D.H.D. rise. I am concerned since A.D.H.D., as mentioned in a New York Times article on March 31, 2013, has no definitive test and is determined only by speaking extensively with patients, parents, and teachers, and ruling out other possible causes. Teachers are given surveys to fill out to help diagnose. This process of ruling out other possible causes can be subjective and is time consuming, and is sometimes even skipped under "time constraint" and pressure from parents.
I was surprised to find out that fifteen percent of school age boys have received A.D. H.D. diagnoses, the rate for girls was 7%.
Most alarming was the rate of diagnoses among those of high school age, those from ages 14 to 17, these rates were particularly high, 10% for girls and 19% for boys. According to the New York Times article, "About one in ten high school boys are currently taking A.D.H.D. medication."

5 foods to avoid feeding children with ADDHD symptoms
5 Foods to Avoid feeding children with ADDHD symptoms:
1. SALT - Salt can lead to a depletion of the minerals needed to keep the neurons firing in a healthy manner.
2. CAFFEINE - Caffeine pulls minerals out of the bone. Coffee, tea and other caffeinated drinks are acidic and lower the natural ph of the body. Minerals are important also as they assist nerve function.
3.) SUGAR - Sugar is an ADDHD child's downfall because it robs the body of vitamins, minerals, and enzymes and increases hyperactivity by preventing blood sugar levels from remaining stable.
4.) HYDROGENATED OILS - Bad fats inhibit healthy nerve function. The wrong kinds of fats are the trans fats and saturated fats. Healthier oils include flaxseed, canola, and olive oils.
5.) ADDITIVES - Avoid food coloring such as reds ad yellows, and monosodium glutamate (MSG)

5 best foods for children with ADDHD
5 best foods to feed children with ADDHD symptoms:
1) Trace minerals such as zinc and iron. Trace minerals are found in such foods as fruits, vegetables, and animal products.
2) Calcium and Magnesium, in foods such as milk or lots of green veggies. Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system. Calcium and magnesium can be found in milk, milk products, green vegetables, such as broccoli, kale, collard greens, spinach, and whole grains and cereals.
3) Protein such as a smoothie including powder protein or eggs for breakfast, a snack such as brown rice cakes with hummus or crackers with any kind of nut butter.
4) Vitamin B complex such as nutritional yeast, liver, rice nuts, milk, eggs, meats, fish, fruits, leafy green veggies, or whole grains and breads.
5.) Essential Fatty Acids (EFA's) since the right kind of fats are needed to help the brain fire information efficiently from synapse to synapse. Fish, flax seeds, nuts are great sources of EFA's. DHA Omega 3 eggs are a great source of Omega 3 fatty acids. The right kinds of fats are need to help the brain fire information efficiently from synapse to synapse.
I like Judy's Family Farm organic Omega-3 eggs.
